This edition focuses on the key issues of the period between the First and Second World Wars. Incorporating up-to-date historical interpretations, the author addresses questions such as "Why were there no major conflicts in the 1920's?" Particular attention is given to the impact of the treaties that were agreed on at the end of the First World War and the intense diplomatic negotiations that preceded the start of the Second World War.
Examines significant people and events in the history of the United States from 1900 to 1929, a period that encompassed the Progressive Movement, World War I, and the Roaring Twenties.
